I feel like I need to have a solid ability to convey to professional prospects why NSP is superior -- or at least utterly equivalent to -- other brands, especially those only they have access to as professionals.

And I feel at a complete loss except for the Quality Assurance brochure which isn't all that helpful.

(I've only been with NSP since the beginning of the year, so my experience is still quite limited.)

Exactly; it's one thing to know or believe they're great, but just SAYING so doesn't prove it, doesn't necessarily convince others, especially skeptical professionals who have a gazillion product lines at their choosing.

Over the years NSP has done a lot of research comparing the quality of our products with those of our competitors. A lot of that research is now available as convenient hand-outs in PDF format on NSP's official web site. You can print these PDF files making excellent hand-outs or presentation materials for your prospective customers. Log on to NSP's official web site and then go to the following page:
http://www.naturessunshine.com/us/members/myaccount/comparisons.aspx
For each of the products mentioned there click on "Read full product comparison" for the PDF file, and then print these out. I have used these in the past when talking to prospective customers, and they have never failed to convince the customer that there is a difference in quality and it is provable. This type of scientific literature will not fail to impress professionals._________________Dr. Duane Weed, MS, DC, LAc
